I went here for brunch with my friends yesterday. My friends and I used to come here where it first opened and love it the food drink and everything was nice. Now this place sucks and they are sooooooo money hungry its just pathetic. They have continued to renovate for no reason and Im guessing they think the customers should pay their paychecks to cover these costs. 3 of us went for Sunday brunch. Its $50 PER PERSON with no drinks included (bottomless an extra $21 PER PERSON). Its supposed to be a 3 course meal yet the appetizers were shared and so was the dessert. Yet we paid for brunch individually. On top of that the dessert was a regular slice of cheesecake. Just 1 for 3 people. I was absolutely floored. Our waiter was the worst I had to run him down repeatedly to get our drinks because we were trying drink as many as we could but he was MIA which felt very intentional. On top of that the drinks were extremely watered down pounds of ice in them which was obviously intentional as well. He also decided he deserved a $55 tip and added it to our bill even though he was MIA from the moment we sat down. Overall just a scam and a shame. I don't see a reason for someone to go unless you want to waste money for kicks like we did. $400 down the drain. The DJs were good but who cares atp.

I wanted to share an experience I oversaw when visiting The Garden! I use to be a regular customer there because I enjoyed going and distracting myself the staff from the bartenders were all amazing. They still are, I stop going as frequent due to the new management they have whom I’ve had incidents in the past due to his way of speaking to people and always having a nasty attitude. Tonight was validation on why I stopped coming here, the way Carlos (manager) speaks to the staff and people is completely unacceptable and super degrading. It’s sad that coming from a Hispanic culture that it will be the same Hispanic people to treat their kind like garbage or speak to them as if they don’t know how to work! Do Better by your people and your workers. I am a huge believer that if your workers and team members are happy you clients will be happy it’s all a projection on and a dominos effect. I come from the corporate world and know if I had any one of my leaders speaking down to a fellow colleague that would be addressed accordingly!

Went on a Tuesday night to celebrate my friend’s birthday and it was really quiet— our group of 9 people took up the main room and barely anyone else was there. Service was great, they came out to sing happy birthday. The pre-fix menu is definitely worth it! Only complaint is that many of us ordered Churrasco and some came out chewy or almost burnt.

I took my daughter here for brunch for her birthday, and unfortunately, the experience was disappointing. The service was very slow—it took a long time for our waiter to even get to our table. On top of that, the place was uncomfortably hot, which made the visit unpleasant. For the amount of money I spent, it was not worth it. I don’t think I’ll be coming back.

My mom talked about this place so she asked me to post her a review… she love it cause it had a mixed of music from Latin to Caribbean and of course dancehall. Dj was definitely a 10 star. She stumble upon this place walking through her new neighborhood night out with her family. And the most important thing that call her into this place was the type of music that was playing. Love it.
Also the music wasn’t super loud and you can still dance and hear each other into a conversation. Love it … also I would suggest to this incredible place for them to add some mix set of Caribbean cuisine like some fry fish or fry chicken and plain chips and fry shrimp as an appetizers. If you can place the Caribbean music then offer the Caribbean food lol she had an incredible time in along time. And for the fact that the Elizabeth area is mostly Spanish food vendors please bring in some Caribbean food. Thank you to the staff .. also the price point on all drinks and food was on point and yeah my mom went up to the Dj booth to her her shot from the girls loves the entertainment .. a night to remember …

I had my birthday brunch here on the 20th and had the pleasure of being served by Juan V. — he was amazing! Super friendly, super accommodating, and honestly went above and beyond to make sure I enjoyed my brunch. He really made the whole experience feel special. Everything was perfect, and his service definitely played a big part in that. Thank you, Juan! 10/10 experience ☺️

This was a terrible experience. We were at in an uncomfortable table. Table leaning all the way over and shaking. We asked to move. When they re-sat us it was also a bad table in the corner. They took 20 minutes to move us. They didn’t even give us menus at the new table. We asked for a server 2/3 times didn’t even get a drink order taken after 30 minutes. Not even a glass of water. We walked out after 40 minutes not a single server to our table.

Amazing place food and service
